What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for leadership, professional growth, and the ability to influence organizational risk management strategies.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Senior Lead Auditor with extensive experience in operational risk management and internal auditing. My journey began with a solid educational foundation, earning both a B.S. and M.ACC. in Accounting from St. Edwards University, where I was honored as the Accounting Student of the Year in 2012. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as demonstrated in my current role at Lowe’s Home Improvement, where I oversee complex audit projects, ensuring compliance with established methodologies and delivering high-quality audit reports for executive audiences.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership positions, including Lead Audit Manager at Wells Fargo and Manager of Internal Audit at Family Dollar. In these roles, I have successfully managed teams, developed comprehensive audit plans, and implemented effective testing strategies to assess risks and controls. My ability to communicate audit results clearly and objectively has been instrumental in fostering strong relationships with stakeholders and ensuring that audit findings lead to actionable improvements. I am passionate about mentoring junior auditors and driving continuous improvement within audit functions.
